If a person did not plan to reload ammo the 450 Marlin would be a great gun. Heck, it is a great gun. But I reload and shoot a Marlin 1895G chambered for 45-70. I can shoot loads that are quite comfortable to loads that will punish you each time you touch off a round. I also shoot a Pedersoli Rolling Block chambered for 45-70 but I keep the loads light for it.
